District Architecture Center coming to 7th Street


The large space on 7th Street between D and E that used to house a souvenir shop has a new tenant.

Even though it's not a retail, it does bring some life to a stretch of 7th Street that is all-to-empty with the empty Wagamama Space, the empty Hill Country space, and this empty space.

The location will be used for Design professionals, consumers, patrons, visitors, students and community leaders to learn about and appreciate architecture.   As you can see from the footprint, the space includes a lot of classrooms:
